Cool! The monitors that show the stops in Zurich S-Bahn do as well, as do the Coop self-checkout registers.
I’m pretty sure that these card terminals are self-contained devices much like the ones used at checkout lines, not least for safety reasons. It’s just that it’s not apparent because the hardware has been integrated into the shell of the ticket machine.
Nice one 😀
The ticket machine itself runs Windows, this is only the card terminal.
That is just the card payment terminal, those are developed and manufactured by a third party and purchased by the various vending machine manufacturers.
Most stuff like this runs on linux
Great then it can run Doom
Everything runs on Linux bro
Everything runs Linux
Crtrl + F2 or Crtrl + F7 to go back to graphics mode
Almost everything that works well is built on Linux.
I stumbled across a pretty interesting YouTube video about Linux and its open source routes and how it nearly failed. Not affiliated but [this is the video](https://youtu.be/aoag03mSuXQ?si)
Gott sei Dank!
Switzerland 😍😍😍
Card terminal only… but single core cpu… else you would see more than one tux…
Nice catch !
Imagine having to confirm your age when you setup a new ATM xD (Hopefully we’re not in California)
